1. Clock speed of the processor chip. Latest MacBook runs a 2.2 GigaHertz (GHz) chip.

2. RAM or Random Access Memory. Typical ranges today are 1 gigabyte (GB) to 4 GB.

3. Long term storage device. Typical ranges today are from 60 GB to 1 TeraByte (TB).

4. Search for details as I'll get this wrong. Think of it as the ultimate optical device. CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW.

1. The speed of the computer's processor. Hertz: Named for Gustave Hertz, a German physicist. See hertz. One gigahertz is one million hertz(es). From the linked site:
A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second.
2. Memory. The data a computer stores within it's working "brain," measured in the amount of RAM, or random access memory. The more RAM, the more it's "brain" can store without having to go to a book to look it up, the "book" being the

(3) hard drive. The bigger the hard drive, the more information it can store for the "brain" to look it up when it runs short of RAM.

4. Superdrive: An optical drive that reads CDs and DVDs, and that can burn CDs as well as DVDs.

Superdrive is just Apples name for an optical drive that does a bunch of different stuff.
